Complementary pop art strawberries for 14! Focus more on color mixing and learning the complementary color process than creating perfect strawberries I can't wait to see how you do and please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: The palette I'm using today is a split primary I put together from Winsor and Newton paints. The colors are: cad-free yellow, lemon yellow, cad-free red, perm rose, french ultramarine blue, and winsor blue (similar to phthalo blue). I don't use all of these colors in this painting but I mention each one as I use them.

Brushes: round size 4 Princeton brand

You teache me so many new aspects. ( Sorry, Englisch is my third foreign language I have learned at scool and I never know exactly how to use many or much. My knitting english is perfect 😉)

Leah

Cute! Can't wait to do this one tonight

Many is right. Think of much as a volume word (abundant) more abstract Ex: I have much love Whereas many is like ants. There’re many of them lol idk if that helps hehehe

Johanna

Hi Kristin what do you mean when you say “chroma” not familiar with this terminology? Thanks

Macee Jo

Omg thanks for the shout-out! ❤️

Kristin Van Leuven

Great question Johanna. Chroma is how pure the color is. For example, when I pick up red with my brush I can control the value with water by making it lighter or darker. Lighter= more water, darker= more paint. However, the color chroma, or purity of color, will stay the same no matter how much of the pigment I add. It remains "pure". To change the color's chroma and create tones and shadows we need to mix colors into it that change it. Adding analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel) does not change the chroma, and only creates a new color (ex: magenta + yellow = red). Adding complementary colors opposite the color wheel, will darken the color and change its purity making it "muddy". That was a lot, but hopefully that was helpful. Let me know if you have another question about it

Kristin Van Leuven

haha you're welcome! I really loved what you said and I now ask myself how to be a better productive queen throughout my day ❤️

Jerri

Oooo…Andy Warhol style! Fun!!🤩

Nancy Woodhouse

Is the cad free yellow light, medium or dark?

Patti

I learned so much from this tutorial, thank you!

Mindy Savage

I am using mainly winsor & newton cotman paints. (and a White Night selection) Can you suggest a substitute in W & N for Magenta in your Letter Sparrow - or a mix I might try, having trouble getting it right. Thanks... I'm a bit behind with the paintings, but loving the journey. xx

You may have spoken about this before but in your larger palette, well even in this palette, why do you put the colors in the order that you do?

Kristin C.

Kristin, when you say magenta here, do you mean perm rose?

Kristin Van Leuven

I’m not sure. I like the yellow at the top and left side warm, right side cool. It just kind of naturally worked out that way 😅. For larger palettes I usually go in rainbow order but start with yellow, then orange, reds, magentas, bright blues etc.

Kristin Van Leuven

Any rose color should work! I think my winsor and newton palette has permanent rose

Kristin C.

Thanks! I’m actually relieved because it makes me feel calm knowing I have what you use to color mix 😆

Katy Jacobson

Loved learning a little color theory in this one! Color magic!
